Dishonorable Mention
Dishonorable Mention
Four of the most interesting people in Tampa Bay come together in studio to discuss politics: national, state, local, but from a place of love - and with an emphasis on funny.
Pinellas County Commissioner Chris Latvala, community activist Becca Tieder, friend of Tampa Bay Ernest Hooper and communications expert Dr. Karla Mastracchio. Four differing points of view will attempt to fix the problems of the world.
This is not your typical anything. See what happens when a journalist, a politician, a rhetorician and an activist break down the issues and take strong stances but without stabbing commentary.
Each episode will help you will laugh, learn and definitely have a favorite. No matter how different you see the world, the only way we can make a difference is to have healthy conversations. We are Dishonorable Mention.
